The unidentified flying object (UFO) was photographed in the skies over Springdale, Ohio, in the US. UFOlogist Scott C Waring, who found the bizarre photos o the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), republished the photos on his own blog UFO Sightings Daily. The supposed UFO pictures show a rectangular or diamond-like object floating in the distance over some trees. In Mr Waring’s estimate, the flying object is larger than a car but moved slowly across the skies.

The UFO-hunter said: “This report just in from MUFON. A person was driving along the road in Springdale when he noticed a black diamond UFO off in the distance.

“The UFO is far behind the power lines, although it appears to be touching them. It’s actually very far away.

“This UFO is bigger than a car and doesn’t rotate or turn in any way.

“The UFO does move very slowly as if it’s watching, scanning for something below on the ground.”
